Now we're not spending as much on groceries.

I don't feel tempted to go out to eat.

But then last week I had this week where I was just my schedule was packed and I had things in the evenings and I was kind of rushing around doing things.

And I caught myself like going back to Chick-fil-A each night and just like quickly like grabbing little purchases here and there.

And after about like three days, I was like, wow.

what am I doing?

I'm starting to go back to this.

I got to stop.

So yeah, I really checked myself and was like, what is this?

And I realized that when I get in a hurry, I tend to impulse purchase.

When I have a lot of things going on, when I'm just kind of like, oh my gosh, I got to go to this thing and I forgot to bring food and all of that.

So I was helping lead an FPU class last night at church and we were having this conversation and a lot of people were like, yes, that's when

I tend to eat out when I've got something in the evening I didn't plan for when I'm in a hurry.

So it really made me think about it.

Like, how can we kind of prevent that feeling of I'm in a hurry, I feel stressed.

And so I just need to grab something quick.

And yeah,

And kind of, you know, impulse buy.

And I was doing the math.

And it's crazy how those purchases really do add up.
